Presents.
I’m that guy when it comes to buying presents. The guy who will tell you get me what ever you want because it’s the thought that counts. If you ask me “what do you want for <insert celebration>?” I’ll end up telling you either “I don’t know” or “whatever” or I combine both “I don’t know whatever.”. Quite frankly I don’t think anyone would get me something that I would want. Main reason is I don’t actually have anything I want. There are things I’d think are nice but too expensive to be consider an acceptable gift from someone. So here is a list of items I’ve decided to get myself over the course my life:
- A leather travel trunk with brass buckles. Large enough for a couple of days away. Space on the side for a full length umbrella. Zipper on the top of the lid to allow me to put items for quick access. On the inside there will be a buckle to help tie down/compress clothes. On the other side a mesh to hold used/dirty clothes from any left over clean clothes. It would be hard rigid leather corners.
- Flip top mittens. I have a pair of wool ones but these are just tide me over. This pair I want will be made of leather on the outside. On the inside there will be sheeps wool however there will be a silk lining on top. only the fingers will flip and to hold it in place will be a brass button clasp.
- Popcorn Machine. It can make upto 5 litres of popcorn. Designed to stand on a counter or on a mobile frame. There will be a shoot that you can open to let the freshly popped popcorn out. Connected to this popcorn machine will be a little wooden cuckoo clock. Instead of a bird that pops out there will be a small steam train and it makes the tooting sound. You can set the time on the clock when you want the popcorn machine to automatically turn on. On the other side of the machine there will be space for toppings. However I don’t really have a big sweet tooth so it maybe more of a dipping station.
- “THEE Chair”. It will comfortable but firm it will support me and put me in the mood for serious things like reading and enjoying music on it’s own. It will not be a seat that I do everything from. It will be a special chair I use when i wish to isolate myself. No one may sit in this chair. It will not recline as that would be bad for posture. It will not be made of leather. It may smell musty as well as look ugly but it will be my chair. The chair shall be more important than my beloved or any off spring. You cause offense to the chair you sit outside till I have undone the damage.
- A morning breakfast table. On this breakfast table I shall set up several different coffee machines. One for filter and one for french press. Depending on the day I’ll have which coffee I wish. On this breakfast table I would like it to fold out. It will be thick Oak wood sitting on a brass or iron stand. Only to be used for breakfast or breaks. The chairs of this table will be wide wooden chairs with arm rests. The back of the chairs will mate the brass/iron stand design. Only two chairs will be at the breakfast table. The fresh breakfast butter will kept in the centre of the table.
That’s all I’ve come up with for now but the presents are mostly practical. If they weren’t used for traveling then it would be gifts to create what I would consider home.

So I’ve had this brown box in my room since the 20th of December. It was from my secret santa. It felt a little heavy so I wasn’t sure what was in it. I decided to wait till xmas day to open it. So I kept it next to my bed and every night I would pat it. So the day of christmas morning came. I woken up at 8am after 3hrs sleep to the sounds of clanging and my parents talking. They were preparing for christmas lunch. We were having duck instead of turkey and it was all right. So after lunch I realised I could finally open the box. After the initial wrapping I opened the box and there was styrofoam. The box had said fragile so I wondered what was inside. Maybe some glass wear or one of those glass trophies saying “Best at <insert achievement>.” After I removed the one of the parts I there was more packaging. It was a used envelope and it said Lily. I know my secret santa has kids so I wasn’t sure what was inside. As I held it in it’s used envelope wrapping I realised it was a little heavy still. It wasn’t the shape of a trophy or box shape so it couldn’t have housed glass wear.
I began to worry. WHAT IF IT’S COAL? He’s is of the internet and he has a sense of humour. Would he give me coal for christmas. AM I A BAD CHILD? I began opening the envelope revealing more wrapping. It got a lot smaller but as I unravelled the last piece of wrapping there I found a pot! Also some little plastic insects and lizards and frogs. I began to play with them for a bit until I was called downstairs.
It now holds some important items and my plastic figures. I think I’ll grow something in the pot when I decide what I want to grow. Oh! I also got some bells on string. I’ve tied them around a cupboard door handle so I know when the underpants gnomes come at night and I can catch them before they steal my underpants.

So usually people are psyched about Christmas but over the past few years I’ve been more excited for this time of year because I get belated birthday gifts from friends :D
In the picture I got 3 gifts from my friends Yong, Yvonne and Tina. Yong got me Gshock watch and I’ve kinda wanted once since I was 14. Yvonne made a photo album/scrap book for me. There are plenty of pages left too. Tina hand sewed me this plushie robot cushion. It’s name is Ronny/Ronnie. She brought it with her from Germany. Ronny doesn’t have a last name yet so what should it be?
